Scranton gym aims to end “useless” Martial arts argument

Scranton gym aims to end “useless” Martial arts argument.

If you have trained Martial Arts, specifically any of the grappling arts like jiu-jitsu, wrestling, or judo long enough, chances are you have been part of the most useless argument in all of martial arts: Which one is better? This has been argued on mats, online, and, let’s be honest, on barstools by practitioners for centuries. The wrestlers say wrestling is the best, the judoka say judo is the best, and the BJJ guys say jiu-jitsu is the best. We end up with a whole Daffy/Bugs “duck season/wabbit season” scenario that can seemingly go on forever.

At No Limits Grappling Academy, we aim to end that useless argument by not giving you a choice. It’s the whole reason that our gym is named No Limits Grappling Academy instead of No Limits {insert specific martial art here} Academy. Our style of training is heavily influenced by wrestling using the principles of takedown and control, but also has the dynamic submissions like chokes, armbars, and joint locks of jiu-jitsu, and the high-impact throws and foot sweeps of judo. Why? Simple. Because they are effective.

Many times, people put so much focus on which art or sport is better, they tend to be closed-minded to the techniques or lessons from other sports that can make them better. Our number one goal at No Limits is for all of our athletes to be “complete,” to not have any “holes in their game” and be proficient in all areas, standing up and on the ground. We believe that this not only makes you a better competitor, it allows you to have more fun in training and, if need be, be better able to defend yourself if the situation arises.

This open-minded approach has also allowed us to be more conceptual in our teaching style, showing how the different positions and techniques are more closely related than they are different. Conceptual teaching also allows our athletes the ability to “play” and experiment in different situations and broaden their “games” by following principles rather than hard and fast rules. To put things more simply, we tend to focus more on the agreement of technique over the argument for supremacy.

Now, Gi or No Gi is a completely different story.
